4 In 10 Americans Think Extreme Weather Is Due To Biblical End-Times

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2012/12/14/4-in-10-americans-think-extreme-weather-is-due-to-biblical-end-times/



A survey by the Public Religion Research Institute has shown that nearly four in ten Americans blame severe weather on the end-times, as predicted in the Bible. While the findings show that over 60% of Catholics and white Protestants of non-evangelical denominations believe such weather is due to climate change, more than 60% of white, evangelical Protestants believe that weather events such as Superstorm Sandy are in line with Biblical end-times prophecy.
